Health Sector in Nepal

Rajendra Kumar Acharya, QDR No 25, 2010, “Hundreds of people have lost their lives and thousands upon thousands of people were affected due to diarrhea in Mid Western Region especially in Jajarkot, Rukum, and Salayan district since April 2009. The Government of Nepal has failed to control it. As a result dozen of people were dying day by day.” He further explained, "Hospitals are located mostly in urban areas and provide wider ranges of medical services. Doctors do not want to go to rural and remote areas due to economic reasons. They earn more money in urban areas. It is shameful that they study with government scholarship, but do not want to go to serve in rural areas. Nepali people regard the doctor as a God. But Doctors are always busy earning money. It is ground reality of Nepal."

Voices for improvement of street children of Nepal

C.R. Fraser Jenkins, QDR Issue No 12, 1993:
"A few years ago an eye opening experience, common to many other tourists, I met some of the young children who were then sleeping in cardboard boxes and sacks outside my Hotel in Thamel." He further explained, "They originally left home for a sad variety of reason, some after the death of parents, or because some families simply had no money to keep them, while many escaped, often at a very early age, from an intolerably cruel or neglectful home, often involving severe beating by step parent (or parent), who has himself or become pushed to the limit of stability by desperately unhappy and difficult circumstances.”

Shailaja Acharya's, a first unmarried Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal, message published in the QDR No 19, 1998:
"I am very happy to know that the Quarterly Development Review Vol. XV, No 19 is being published focusing on baby girl and missing girl and eradication of poverty and development issues. Equality in gender has become a popular slogan throughout the world in recent years. But in practice, women and girls are neglected and exploited in every corner of society. In our country majority of girl child are denied basic necessities like education, health and employment. Mortality rate of women is higher than men. Child marriage r**e, bonded labor, trafficking are the common crimes which has prevailed in our society. All these injustice is due to lack of education. His Majesty's Government is fully committed to educate the majority of rural women and girl child by providing necessary infrastructure and facilities. His Majesty's Government of Nepal has fully realized the problem of women and girl child and will try to solve these problems as promptly as possible.
I extend sincere thanks to Mr. Ram Kumar Khatri Editor and Publisher of Quarterly Development Review and to the concerned writers of articles on development issues. I hope this issue will create awareness in our society to combat injustice to girls and women in Nepal."

Badi Caste

"Badi is an untouchable Hindu Caste, with a total population of approximately 7,000 who inhabit in scattered settlements of Salayan, Rolpa, Rukum, Dailekh. Doti, Jajarkot, Dang, Deukhuri, Banke, and Bardya, districts of Western Nepal. Badi men fish (keeping most of the catch for their own family's consumption) and make drums and pipes which they sell to Nepalese in neighboring communities. Badi women pr******te themselves, beginning at puberty and continuing until they become too old to attract any customers or get married. Badi girls, from early child hood know and generally accept the fact that a life of prostitution awaits them. Their parents and other Badi tell them that prostitution is, and always has been, the work of women in the Badi caste and that to aspire any other profession would be unrealistic. Badi accept that life of prostitution waits them. Their parents and other Badi tell them that prostitution is and always has been the work of women in the Badi caste. Badi girl also do not go to school, have little contact with outsiders and thus are not exposed to many ideas values or beliefs that counter those in their own society. Girls also learn early on that prostitution is the only means of support available to most Badi families."

Cleaning Nepal

Steen Bulow expressed his feeling (QDR No 24, 2008) by asking, "Why Nepalese people throw liter everywhere? Tourists have been accused of leaving toilet paper, but in the 30 days of trekking, I did not see any of this! Dear Nepalese people you have a country of stunning beauty. Shame on you! But you do not behave accordingly”.

Bachir Hassan from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (QDR No 23, 2006) has expressed, "I was disappointed with the status of those beautiful temples in Kathmandu. To be honest with you temples are not temples any more. I feel it became a meeting place and small shopping center. I am saddened that I saw at those temples. I also could not believe that those monks are allowing liquor to be sold among the many stores surrounding the temples."

Taking considerations of various opinions of foreigners, preventive measure should be applied to maintain the clean environment of the country.

Thanks to the cleaning campaign of Bagmati Rivers along with three cities of Kathmandu Valley and temples, the situation is improving. Awareness has been steadily increasing among dwellers of the cities. Our cities over past few years are getting cleaner as compared to the cities of other countries.
In this connection the leadership, dedication and hard work of Chief Secretary Lilamani Poudel is commendable. His enthusiasm and zeal along with other distinguished personalities for the Cleaning Campaign is appreciable. From its beginning last years, Chief Secretary, despite his busy schedule, every Saturday morning with groups of people of various organization equipped with clinical gloves and masks participates in cleaning of the Bagmati river.
